Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit includes an input data line pair, a sense amplifier configured to sense and amplify data loaded in the input data line pair and transmit the amplified data to an output data line pair, in response to a control signal, and a sense amplification controller configured to sense an amplification level of the output data line pair, limit an activation period of a sense amplification enable signal, and output the limited signal as the control signal.
